I myself don't like to speak to the actors at all. I like to hire great people and let them do their thing. I don't like to speak to them. I don't like to have lunch with them. I don't like to socialize with them. I don't like to hear their ideas. ~ Woody Allen
Great People quotes by Woody Allen
I think of published poets that you could know of...I think [Rainer Maria Rilke] probably has the most great published poems of any poet [...] but Rilke himself was an asshole. If you look at his biography, he was probably misogynist; he was a liar, a cheat; he was a terrible father; he was selfish; he put people down; he had no consideration for anyone [...] yet, he transcends that in his greatest poems. There's that ineffable, spiritual quality - that he himself couldn't reach! But somewhere underneath that reptilian exterior, that asshole exterior of Rainer Maria Rilke, there was some good that came through – like these little sunbursts coming through clouds – that had that moment. And he'd write the Duino Elegies, he'd write the New Poems, and somewhere, that came through.
And that's an amazing thing: you can have a lot of great people who are great individuals, who are loving and caring – and they can't do that. And that's not to say that their lives are meaningless, but they will never be able to affect anyone past the propinquity of their existence. They are never going to be able to affect someone in China; they are never going to be able to affect someone in 2132 the way Rilke can.
And that specialness needs to be acknowledged; that specialness needs to be upheld; it needs to be rewarded, and people need to say, 'Goddamn – that's a good thing! It's a good thing that people make art! ~ Dan Schneider
Great People quotes by Dan  Schneider
When we are babies ... we need an authoritative figure to guide and take care of us. We ask no questions about that authority and imagine that the small circumference of family life is the limit of the universe ... As we mature, our horizon expands and we begin to question. This continues until we either throw over our creators
our parents
for good and take their place as the creative force in our lives or find replacements for them because the terror and responsibility are too great. People go one way or the other, and this accounts for all of the great personal and political divides throughout history. ~ Charlotte Rogan
Great People quotes by Charlotte Rogan
I've been all over the world on my own because, as a scientist, you travel a great deal if your work is reasonably successful or published. I get invitations to go to all sorts of strange countries where I would mostly be by myself and just meet other people there, instead of having travelling companions. ~ Robert Winston
Great People quotes by Robert Winston
Great people become great due to the framework, routines and habits they have set for themselves ~ Sunday Adelaja
Great People quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Great quotes do not come from great people. They come from ordinary people who think differently. ~ Ismat Ahmed Shaikh
Great People quotes by Ismat Ahmed Shaikh
Even great people are always slightly disappointing, which is generally what makes them interesting. ~ Steve Coogan
Great People quotes by Steve Coogan
I think that when you're making your way up in the music industry, you have all these heroes and the reasons why they are your heroes. As soon as you get into the industry, your guidelines change a little bit. For me, my heroes now are great people first and great artists second. ~ Taylor Swift
Great People quotes by Taylor Swift
I think the great thing about grandparents is seeing another home, realising that people you love can have different priorities, different diversions, different opinions and lead quite different lives from the ones you see every day, and that is immensely valuable. ~ Simon Hoggart
Great People quotes by Simon Hoggart
Cornwall is one of the most beautiful places, with great people - there's not a great downside to it. ~ Tori Amos
Great People quotes by Tori Amos
It's just such an honor to say that I was in something by Steven Spielberg. I feel so blessed I got to meet such great people, and I got to go to a beautiful place, Vancouver, and I had a great time. ~ Dakota Fanning
Great People quotes by Dakota Fanning
Most busy people want to mentor someone great ~ Ramit Sethi

It still hasn't sunk in that I'm going to be in Coronation Street. Everything about the role is brilliant and I'm working with some great people. ~ Richard Fleeshman
Great People quotes by Richard Fleeshman
There lived great souls in the history of the world. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Great People quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Hiring great people is almost the most important thing you can do as a leader because they enable you to scale, and they create better leverage for you and your time. ~ Ivanka Trump
Great People quotes by Ivanka Trump
The great thing about it is, in Hollywood, certain people are very good at keeping their lives and who they are very private. I've never met anybody as down to earth and cool in Hollywood than Matt Damon. ~ Anthony Mackie
Great People quotes by Anthony Mackie
My generation, we really have to step up to the plate and vote. Tweeting is great - people say, 'Oh, I don't want this or that' - but at the end of the day, tweeting isn't a ballot. Just saying that you don't like someone on Twitter is not going to turn a state blue or red. You have to vote. ~ Zendaya
Great People quotes by Zendaya
We cannot wait for great visions from great people, for they are in short supply. It is up to us to light our own small fires in the darkness. ~ Charles Handy
Great People quotes by Charles Handy
No one is exempt from trials and tribulations. In fact, this is often what happens to people God loves very much, for it is part of God's often mysterious and good plan for turning us into something great. ~ Timothy Keller
Great People quotes by Timothy Keller
My passion and great enjoyment for architecture, and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it, is because I believe we - architects - can effect the quality of life of the people. ~ Richard Rogers
Great People quotes by Richard Rogers
There are great people everywhere, and there are all kinds of exceptions to any generalizations, and it was a huge privilege for me to get to learn that. ~ Jenny Hoyston
Great People quotes by Jenny Hoyston
If you want to hire great people and have them stay, you have to be run by ideas, not hierarchy. The best ideas have to win. ~ Steve Jobs
Great People quotes by Steve Jobs
Those who are great know a secret that the remaining lot do not know. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Great People quotes by Sunday Adelaja
I had an amazing experience working with great people. I had a great family, a typical family with drama in certain areas, and that's pretty much everywhere in everyone's life. ~ Tina Yothers
Great People quotes by Tina Yothers
The perceived wisdom is that people do not go in large numbers to black-and-white movies anymore - which is a great shame, but I'd love to make a black-and-white movie one day. ~ Sam Mendes
Great People quotes by Sam Mendes
The aspect of sport that you learn is that you have your good times and your bad times, but you share it with great people. ~ George Gregan
Great People quotes by George Gregan
Great people are those who make great effort to achieve innovative ideas against great opposition and great forces, and succeed in the shaping of history. ~ Raphael Cohen-Almagor
Great People quotes by Raphael Cohen-Almagor
Most people, most great people even are ammunition. But what you need in your company are barrels. You can only shoot through the number of unique barrels you have, so that's how the velocity of your company improves ... is by adding barrels, and then you stock them with ammunition and then you can do a lot. ~ Keith Rabois
Great People quotes by Keith Rabois
Great people have great egos; maybe that's what makes them great. ~ Paul Arden
Great People quotes by Paul Arden
A lot of great people come to Facebook. In our business, we're about how do we help connect our companies to great people across all levels. ~ David Sze
Great People quotes by David Sze
The Southern whites are in many respects a great people. Looked at from a certain point of view, they are picturesque. If one will put oneself in a romantic frame of mind, one can admire their notions of chivalry and bravery and justice. ~ James Weldon Johnson
Great People quotes by James Weldon Johnson
REMEMBER THE LOTUS FLOWER

Great people will always be mocked by those
Who feel smaller than them.
A lion does not flinch at laughter coming from a hyena.
A gorilla does not budge from a banana thrown at it by a monkey.
A nightingale does not stop singing its beautiful song
At the intrusion of an annoying woodpecker.
Whenever you should doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower.
Even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud,
It does not allow the dirt that surrounds it
To affect its growth or beauty.
Be that lotus flower always.
Do not allow any negativity or ugliness
In your surroundings,
Destroy your confidence,
Affect your growth,
Or make you question your self-worth.
It is very normal for one ugly weed
To not want to stand alone.
Remember this always.
If you were ugly,
Or just as small as they feel they are,
Then they would not feel so bitter and envious
Each and every time they are forced
To glance up at magnificently
Divine YOU.

REMEMBER THE LOTUS FLOWER by Suzy Kassem ~ Suzy Kassem
Great People quotes by Suzy Kassem
Before the whole world, I accuse you, German intellectuals, you non-Nazis, as those truly guilty of all these Nazi crimes, all this lamentable breakdown of a great people
a destruction which shames the whole white race ... ~ Bronislaw Huberman
Great People quotes by Bronislaw Huberman
Ordinary people shy away from negative situations, just as they do with failure. They do their best to avoid trouble. What great people do is the opposite. They are their best in these situations. They turn personal tragedy or misfortune - really anything, everything - to their advantage. But this crisis in front of you? You're wasting it feeling sorry for yourself, feeling tired or disappointed. You forget: Life speeds on the bold and favors the brave. We ~ Ryan Holiday
Great People quotes by Ryan Holiday
Even though we are supposed to be low caste and poor our vote also has the same value and validity as that of great people. ~ Swarnakanthi Rajapakse
Great People quotes by Swarnakanthi Rajapakse
It's a real gift to be able to have the works of brilliant, great people to learn from and build from. It gives you so much more to draw on, and then you don't have to be all about three-chord pop songs. I don't really like that kind of writing. ~ Regina Spektor
Great People quotes by Regina Spektor
I want to remember it all, the good times and the bad times, the late nights, the boozing, the dancing into dawns, and all the great and not-so-great people I met and loved in those years ... ~ Ava Gardner
Great People quotes by Ava Gardner
I really just want to do the best at everything I do. I just want to have all the great people around me that I feel is family, as well as my friends, and I have an amazing girlfriend. I think having love in your life is most important. ~ Evan Ross
Great People quotes by Evan Ross
You're offering a great service. People are tuning in. So continue to find great people, continue to do what you're doing. And do it better than your rivals. I know that's easier said than done ... ~ Richard Branson
Great People quotes by Richard Branson
I have been traveling to every corner of the great state of Florida. I've met some great people and we've had an honest discussion about the failures of Washington. ~ Adam Hasner
Great People quotes by Adam Hasner
I have good and bad days like everyone else. I just try to be positive and surround myself with great people. When I think about all the great things and people I have had in my life, that gives me confidence. ~ Jessica White
Great People quotes by Jessica White
If suddenly the whole workers of the whole world disappear then the whole world will stop! Let us all realise this and let us celebrate the workers - these great people who make our world move! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Great People quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan

Great People quotes by Steve Lacy
Kolkata is a great city, has great food and great people. We had some problems finding the kind of old buildings we were looking for, and even handling the crowds, but on the whole it was fun shooting there. ~ Sanjay Dutt
Great People quotes by Sanjay Dutt
You have done all this work to create a hiring process that brings in all these awesome smart creatives, and how do they pay you back? By leaving!! That's right. News flash: When you hire great people, some of them may come to realize that there is a world beyond yours. This isn't a bad thing, in fact it's an inevitable by-product of a healthy, innovative team. Still, fight like hell to keep them. ~ Eric Schmidt
Great People quotes by Eric Schmidt
When you get before great people you don't talk a lot, you ask questions ~ Myles Munroe
Great People quotes by Myles Munroe
I want to work with great people. Great people really make you better. ~ Dennis Quaid
Great People quotes by Dennis Quaid

Great People quotes by Gary Lucas
I think Michigan and the people of Michigan know - really, they know that I'm going to protect them. They're great people. ~ Donald Trump
Great People quotes by Donald Trump
The older I grow, the more I am convinced that there is no education which one can get from books and costly apparatus that is equal to that which can be gotten from contact with great men and women. ~ Booker T. Washington
Great People quotes by Booker T. Washington
People recognize me, I have scripts, and auditions. And I meet great people. ~ Berenice Bejo
Great People quotes by Berenice Bejo
Some great people are leaders and others are more lucky, in the right place at the right time. I'd put myself in the latter category. But I'd never call myself a normal designer of anything. ~ Steve Wozniak
Great People quotes by Steve Wozniak
I have found that great people do have in common ... an immense belief in themselves and in their mission. They also have gerat determination as well as an ability to work hard. At the crucial moment of decision, they draw on their accumulated wisdom. Above all, they have integrity. ~ Yousuf Karsh
Great People quotes by Yousuf Karsh
The fabulous places I've been, wonderful things that've happened, great people I've met ought to make a story. ~ Ella Fitzgerald
Great People quotes by Ella Fitzgerald
I was a war correspondent. I've watched great people crumble under pressure and make bad decisions. ~ Peter Landesman
Great People quotes by Peter Landesman
I've always been lucky in casting. The trick in casting is to hire great people, and let them do what they do, don't interfere with them too much. And then when they're great, take credit for it in the end. ~ Woody Allen
Great People quotes by Woody Allen
Responding to the 'great good' within us causes us to be 'great people. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Great People quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
Great people are not affected by each puff of wind that blows ill.
Like great ships, they sail serenely on, in a calm sea or a great tempest. ~ George Washington
Great People quotes by George Washington
Great people are those who make others feel that they, too, can become great. ~ Mark Twain
Great People quotes by Mark Twain
I have worked with a lot of different great people. One of the things my partner, my manager Judy Weinstein, instilled in [David] Morales and myself is that the quality goes in before the name goes home. ~ Frankie Knuckles
Great People quotes by Frankie Knuckles
Bad or evil things can be overcome with good things. The bible teaches that we Christians should always try and overcome evil with good things. Jesus himself was able to overcome evil with good things. Throughout his gospel, Jesus was treated badly by the Jews. However, he was able to overcome all the evil deeds by doing good things. He fed the angry, raised the dead, healed the sick and forgave sins. All these things he did them to overcome the evil. There are several personalities in the bible that did good things to overpower the evil. For instance, David, King Solomon and other great people were able to overpower evil by doing good things. It is also our responsibility for us Christians to do good things and overcome the evil. ~ Austin V. Songer
Great People quotes by Austin V. Songer
In my mid-twenties, I said to myself: 'I can't perform anymore!' I didn't know what I wanted to do. I didn't perform for a while, then ended up doing a one-woman show about Gilda Radner having cancer. It was called 'Gilda Defying Gravity,' and I did it on the Lower East Side. It was great; people really came out and supported me. ~ Spencer Kayden
Great People quotes by Spencer Kayden
The wisdom of our ancestors is immortal. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Great People quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
So in every sense, from an independent artist to a major label artist, you just have to have great product, great faith and great people, they all go together. ~ Ledisi
Great People quotes by Ledisi
I admire great people who endure crisis and triumph over adversities of life. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Great People quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
People don't seem to be able to pigeonhole me yet, which is great. ~ Anthony Head
Great People quotes by Anthony Head
I think that they had afforded me many opportunities to do good work there, and I think I did. It was a wonderful four years. I really worked with some great people, terrific producers, terrific editors. ~ Connie Chung
Great People quotes by Connie Chung
The world doesn't need more great leaders, it needs more great people who lead. ~ Erwin McManus
Great People quotes by Erwin McManus
All great people glorify their history and look back upon their early attainments with a spiritualized vision. ~ Kelly Miller
Great People quotes by Kelly Miller
I have great people, smart people that are around me and we love the challenge. I guess it's like climbing a mountain or building a building. It's a challenge but you love every challenge that it brings or presents itself. ~ Ice Cube
Great People quotes by Ice Cube
Kristen Bell is one of my best friends. I've had the pleasure of working with some really great people, and Kristen is just a beautiful, talented young lady. ~ Chris Lowell
Great People quotes by Chris Lowell
It's a very smart, progressive bunch, these people that make country music. They're not country hicks sitting behind a desk with a big cigar giving out record deals and driving round in Cadillacs with cattle horns on the front grille: it's a bunch of really wonderful, open-minded, great people down on Music Row that make this music. ~ Brad Paisley
Great People quotes by Brad Paisley
People who are rooted in the here and now, who are not defeated by their limitations, who don't compare themselves to others, who confidently advance along their chosen path-such people are happy, such people are truly great. ~ Daisaku Ikeda
Great People quotes by Daisaku Ikeda
Although I had once pinned all my hopes on putting myself through school, believing I could thereby make something of myself, I now realized the futility of this all too clearly. No amount of struggling for an education is going to help one get ahead in this world. And what does it mean to get ahead anyway? is there any more worthless lot than the so-called great people of this world? What is so admirable about being looked up to by others? I do not live for other. What I had to achieve was my own freedom, my own satisfaction. I had to be myself. ~ Kaneko Fumiko
Great People quotes by Kaneko Fumiko
Great people faced obstacles in the pursuit of their dreams.The struggles was a motivation to stretch their limits. Be inspired by the story of great people. Know that you are not alone in your struggle. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Great People quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
If the people aren't looking out for the community, then the benefits of a community erode. Many companies have star employees and star salesmen and so on, but few have a culture that produces great people as a rule and not an exception. ~ Simon Sinek
Great People quotes by Simon Sinek
I love surfing more than cricket, more interesting and you meet great people. ~ Hansie Cronje
Great People quotes by Hansie Cronje
When you do something kindly for another person, it leaves a mark, even if it fails or is rejected. Every generous impulse leaves a footprint. Not on the other person's soul. On yours. I think great people are covered all over with these heroic footprints. It doesn't feel good when doing something nice gets ignored or doesn't work, but the successful landing of a gesture isn't actually the victory: the TRYING is the victory. And real friends will see your attempts, no matter how clumsy, and they will follow the footprints of them back to your heart. [tumblr post, 9/12/ 2015] ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Great People quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
I just want the opportunity to continue to do great films, play great characters and work with great people. ~ Moira Kelly
Great People quotes by Moira Kelly
Little people belittle people. Great people make people feel great. ~ Rick Warren
Great People quotes by Rick Warren
All mothers are mothers of great people, and it is not their fault that life later disappoints them. ~ Boris Pasternak
Great People quotes by Boris Pasternak
I don't want to make it a hard, fast rule, but it's surprising how many 'fun for the whole family' acts are real scumbags. The people that confess they're scumbags on stage are generally really great people. They're more honest with the audience with who they are. ~ Kyle Kinane
Great People quotes by Kyle Kinane
In his land, owing to the absence of settees and sofas of all sorts, the king, chiefs, and great people generally, were in the custom of fattening some of the lower orders for ottomans; and to furnish a house comfortably in that respect, you had only to buy up eight or ten lazy fellows, and lay them round in the piers and alcoves. Besides, it was very convenient on an excursion; much better than those garden-chairs which are convertible into walking-sticks; upon occasion, a chief calling his attendant, and desiring him to make a settee of himself under a spreading tree, perhaps in some damp marshy place. ~ Herman Melville
Great People quotes by Herman Melville
Instead of working hard to keep their share of a shrinking pie, or working even harder to make sure the industry stays as is, I think the most essential thing legacy book industry players can do is set up independent ventures with great people and little interference and work really hard to put themselves out of business by starting at the bottom, not by reinforcing the top. ~ Seth Godin
Great People quotes by Seth Godin
Every great accomplishments requires great grace and great enthusiasm. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Great People quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
I've lived a lot since I was 16, so I've got more things to write about. I've started playing around the world and met some great people along the way who've taught me lots of things. ~ Gin Wigmore
Great People quotes by Gin Wigmore
I have spent a great deal of my life being part of minorities. Some of the people I admire the most in the world have had the courage to defend, against wind and tide, minority viewpoints in those frightening times when any disagreement with universal conformity is identified as treason. ~ Antonio Munoz Molina
Great People quotes by Antonio Munoz Molina
Yeah, 'Feed the Dog' is just a really fun, teenage movie with Nat Wolff and Selena Gomez and all these other great people. It's just so silly-funny, and my character's super-fun. ~ Heather Graham
Great People quotes by Heather Graham
Seek to know the history of the sacred souls. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Great People quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Challenge doesn't come to small people. Challenge comes to great people. ~ Harbhajan Singh Yogi
Great People quotes by Harbhajan Singh Yogi
As a kid, I was fortunate that we grew up near a children's theater, with all different classes and things; so as a kid I took classes there and as I got into high school I did all the community theater stuff. Then I came to college in New York and studied acting there. But most of the training I got was from working. Working with really great people. ~ Andrew Rannells
Great People quotes by Andrew Rannells
In Jamaica, them always have throwback riddims, recycled old beats, and the hardcore reggae scene is always present. You have faster stuff like the more commercialized stuff, but you always have that segment of music that is always from the core, from the original root of it. ~ Damian Marley
Great People quotes by Damian Marley
When you're in a startup, the first ten people will determine whether the company succeeds or not. ~ Steve Jobs
Great People quotes by Steve Jobs
Different personalities inspire me as an actor. Especially quirky personalities, maybe people I wouldn't normally get along with or be friends with - I find them inspiring for my work. I find sad emotions to be inspiring and stories of great people that kind of overcame odds. ~ Laura Bell Bundy
Great People quotes by Laura Bell Bundy
Great people and great athletes realize early in their lives their destiny, and accept it. Even if they do not consciously realize the how, the where, the what. ~ Percy Cerutty
Great People quotes by Percy Cerutty
It's truly an honor to get to write Superman and Batman and Wonder Woman and all those great people, but when you can take something that's not well thought of and make it something that people do think highly of, that's much more gratifying, I think. ~ Andrew Kreisberg
Great People quotes by Andrew Kreisberg
Be good to people. Be good to every single person you come into contact with. My best friends are great musicians. But more than that, they're great people. ~ Taylor Swift
Great People quotes by Taylor Swift
I've been very fortunate to work for great people - so even when the political process gets ugly, I find inspiration in the people around me. ~ Stephanie Cutter
Great People quotes by Stephanie Cutter
